What to do if your vulva is torn

After giving birth, if the baby in the belly is too big, the doctor will directly perform an episiotomy on the pregnant woman to prevent excessive tearing of the vagina, which will make it difficult for the vagina to recover later and cause great trouble to the pregnant woman. However, even if the doctor performs an episiotomy, it cannot guarantee that the pregnant woman will not have vaginal tearing during the delivery process. Generally, tearing will occur. If the baby is too small, the pregnant woman may not need an episiotomy, because the baby is light and small, and it is easy to give birth without an episiotomy. However, there will be different degrees of tearing. Pregnant women should not worry about these situations. The doctor will perform suture surgery on pregnant women with tearing. Pregnant women just need to cooperate well. The vaginal tear will heal and there is no need to feel any burden.

If the vagina is torn, the doctor will perform a vaginal suture operation, which is beneficial to the recovery of the vagina. However, mothers need to pay attention that when suturing, the doctor will ask what material of the thread is needed. There are threads that do not need to be removed, which are threads that can be absorbed by the human body, and there are threads that need to be removed, which cannot be absorbed by the human body and need to be removed in the hospital after a certain period of time. But no matter which one you choose, you need to pay attention to whether you are allergic to the material of the thread you choose. Be sure to tell the doctor in advance to avoid causing secondary damage to yourself.

If the mother chooses to remove the stitches, please remember the date of removal. Do not exceed the deadline or go to the hospital to remove it too early. Premature removal will have an adverse effect on the recovery of the vagina. If it is removed overdue, it may cause bacterial infection to the body. During the suturing period, you must pay attention to your diet. You must eat light food and avoid spicy food to avoid inflammation.
